How Many Skittles are in this Jar?

How many skittles are in this jar and can a bunch of strangers help me answer that question? In my first YouTube video, I go over the Wisdom of the Crowd phenomenon and why we're smarter when our individual judgements are aggregated.

Huge Thanks to Joel Jonas for helping me film this!

*Correction: at 5:19, I talk about sample size possibly affecting the results of the experiment. The sample size is in fact adequate. Ignore this point please.
